A photograph of the silver capsule, which has an engraved angel wing on its side, was shared on the department’s Facebook page on Thursday. In the post, the department says the capsule is certainly “very special to someone and we want to get it back to them.”

The department advises whoever owns the vial to contact Lee’s Summit Sgt. Chris Depue at 816-969-1707.
